Overwrite
With this method, the musical data previously
recorded on a track is overwritten by the newly
recorded data. When you perform overwrite recording
on a previously‐recorded track, its musical data will be
deleted and replaced by the newly recorded data.
Normally you will use this method to record, and then
modify the results by using other types of realtime
recording or MIDI event editing.
1. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want
to record.
2. Set the Recording Setup to Overwrite.
3. In "Location," specify the location at which you
wish to begin recording.
4. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch, and
then press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
If the Metronome Setup is still set to the default
settings, the metronome will sound for a two‐
measure pre‐count, and then recording will begin.
Play the keyboard and move controllers such as the
joystick to record your performance.
5. When you finish playing, press the SEQUENCER
START/STOP switch.
Recording will end, and the location will return to
the point at which you begin recording.
If you press the PAUSE switch instead of the
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch, recording will
pause. When you press the PAUSE switch once
again, recording will resume. When you are
finished, press the SEQUENCER START/STOP
switch to stop recording.
Overdub
With this method, the newly recorded musical data is
added to the existing data.
When you perform overdub recording on a previously‐
recorded track, the newly recorded data will be added
to the previously‐recorded data.
It is best to select this mode if you will be recording
additional control data, recording a drum pattern, or
recording the tempo in the master track. With this
mode, data can be added without erasing the existing
performance data.
1. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want
to record.
2. Set the Recording Setup to Overdub.
3. For the rest of the procedure, refer to steps 3–5 of
"Overwrite."

Manual punch-in
While the song is playing, you can press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch or a connected
pedal switch at the desired location to start or stop
recording. With this method, the musical data
previously on the track is overwritten by the newly
recorded data.
1. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want
to record.
2. Set the Recording Setup to Manual Punch In.
3. In "Location," specify a location several measures
earlier than the point at which you wish to begin
recording.
4. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Playback will begin.
5. At the point at which you wish to begin recording,
press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
Recording will begin. Play the keyboard and
operate controllers such as the joystick to record
your performance.
6. When you finish recording, press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
Recording will end (playback will continue).
Note: Instead of pressing the SEQUENCER

foot switch connected to the ASSIGNABLE
SWITCH jack.
Set the Global P2: Controllers/Scales page "Foot
Switch Assign" to Song Punch In/Out.
7. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
Playback will stop, and you will return to the
location that you specified in step 3.
Auto punch-in
First you must specify the area that will be re‐recorded.
Then recording will occur automatically at the
specified area. With this method, the musical data
previously on the track is overwritten by the newly
recorded data.
1. Use "Track Select" to select the track that you want
to record.
2. Set the Recording Setup to Auto Punch In.
3. In "M (Auto Punch In Start Measure), "M (Auto
Punch In End Measure)" specify the area that you
wish to record.
For example if you specify M005–M008, recording
will occur only from measure 5 to measure 8.
4. In "Location," specify a location several measures
earlier than the point at which you wish to begin
recording.
